Solan, Harold A.; Shelley-Tremblay, John; Ficarra, Anthony; Silverman, Michael; Larson, Steven
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v36 n6 p556-63 Nov-Dec 2003
This study quantified the influence of visual attention therapy on the reading comprehension of 30 6th-grade children with moderate reading disabilities (RD). Experimental subjects received 12 one-hour sessions of individually monitored, computer-based attention therapy programs. After 12 weeks, the experimental subjects, but not the controls, showed significant improvement in attention and reading comprehension scores. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
